Barnes & Noble's Nook HD + runs on Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS on a completely customized user
interface and software suite, packs an impressive 7 - inch LCD display with 1440 x 900 pixel resolution, a pixel density of 243 PPI, video playback up to 1080p, powered by a 1.3 GHz OMAP 4470 dual - core processor, 1 GB RAM to keep things running, 16 GB / 32 GB onboard storage, a microSD card slot for memory expansion up to 32 GB, micro USB port, HDMI port, Wi - Fi connectivity, 3.5 mm headset jack, battery life up to 10 hours of reading / up to 9 hours of video playback, high speed web browsing, access to newly revamped Nook Store, Nook Cloud storage, preinstalled Nook Scrapbook app, Magazine 2.0 app, and a whole host of the
regular services of a Nook
tablet.
Plus, Sony claims they've improved the
interface and made it snappier during everyday use, but since the tested devices did not run final software, there were some glitches involved (browsing speed was better than on
regular HoneyComb
tablets though).
